Social Security Action for Northern Virginians
The Virginia Grassroots Coalition has been trying to engage Congressman Tom Davis in a dialogue about Social Security. Davis so far has refused to meet with his constituents to talk about President Bush's plans to privatize Social Security and cut benefits. Virginia United to Protect Social Security has offered to organize a town hall meeting with local residents to talk about these plans, but has received no response from Davis. If you live in Virginia's 11th Congressional district, call the Congressman's office at 703/916-9610 and ask him to attend the town hall and talk to his constituents.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
